Poem by John Heywood

A Fool’s Tongue

Upon a fool’s provocation
A wise man will not talk;
But every light instigation
May make a fool’s tongue walk.

1. Of Holding an Inn
2. Of a Hand-gun and a Hand
3. Of Treading a Shoe Awry
4. A Reward to a Service Man
5. What God Said to One. Otherwise. Thou art one of them to whom God bade Ho!
